Japan is an island nation of Earth, located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of mainland Asia. It was considered a part of Asia.[1]
History
In 1597, a Japanese fleet of 133 was defeated by 13 ships commanded by Admiral Yi Sun-sin at the Myeongnyang Strait.[3]
Japan remained politically and culturally isolated for several centuries before going through a technological and economic renewal in the 1800s.[1]
During World War II, Isoroku Yamamoto crippled the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.[3] The war came to a close with humanity's first use of nuclear weapons at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[4] The bomb at Hiroshima left a domed structure still standing.[2]
Economy and society
Japan is crowded and economically volatile. It is, however, consequently well-endowed with scientists, economists, and global culturalism, making it technologically advanced as well. Japan has always held a great amount of sway in humanity's decision making process, and this did not change under the UNSC.[1]
AMG Transport Dynamics held a facility in Chiba.[5]
Trivia
- Project HAYABUSA, TEISHIN-class Mjolnir, RAIJIN-class Mjolnir, and SHINOBI-class Mjolnir all draw heavily from Japanese influences.
